Feature Proposal: Enhancing MCP with Service Registration and Dynamic Push (by Jianchun Qi) #210
Description
Dear Anthropic Team,
Hello! My name is Jianchun Qi, a solo developer from China. I am a big fan of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and would like to propose an idea to contribute to its growth while seeking recognition as the proposer of this enhancement.
Proposal Description:
I suggest adding a "Service Registration and Dynamic Push Mechanism" to MCP, which would involve the following key components:
- Service Registration Hub: Introduce a central hub that manages MCP server registrations. Each server would register its details (e.g., address, port number) upon startup. The hub would maintain a real-time and up-to-date list of all available MCP servers.
- Dynamic Service Discovery: Implement a system using Server-Sent Events (SSE) to push service updates from the registration hub to the clients. By subscribing to these updates, clients can dynamically discover and connect to newly available servers without requiring manual code changes.
Value Proposition:
- Enhanced Flexibility: Facilitate the seamless integration of new servers into the MCP ecosystem.
- Real-time Responsiveness: Ensure that clients are always aware of the current state of available services.
- Developer Efficiency: Streamline the development process by reducing the need for manual configuration.
- Scalability: Pave the way for the MCP ecosystem to grow and adapt to larger deployments.
My Expectations:
As a solo developer with limited resources, I am unable to implement this proposal independently. However, I hope that Anthropic or the MCP community can adopt and develop this feature. I would greatly appreciate being credited as the proposer (e.g., "Proposed by Jianchun Qi" in documentation or logs) as a form of recognition within the development community. I am more than willing to assist in discussions, testing, and any further development of this proposal.
I plan to submit this proposal to the MCP GitHub repository to engage with the community and gather feedback. Your insights and considerations on this proposal would be highly valued.
Best regards,
Jianchun Qi
